Welcome to my wiki website! Below are a variety of writings and research from the fields of outdoor education, environmental education, experiential education, and a few Quaker messages. My research and writing focuses on the fields of experiential education, outdoor education, the intersections between environment, culture, and education.

To check-out my blog on these matters on OutdoorEd.com click here: Greenfire. I have also included my syllabi from my courses. I welcome feedback on anything you read here!
